  1. #1

    Default Action on the Adriatic coast (Part 2)

    The battle is thinning, so far we have lost:
    Miraglia/Pacchiarotti shot down in flames over enemy territory by Gruber
    Lang/Kohlhauser shot down in friendly territory by Scaroni
    Ancillotto forced to return to base due to wounds (Urban probable).

    The battle continues.

    Nungesser catches Banfield, strafing along the fuselage (4) whilst Scaroni flies over the wreckage.

    Great action. I love your mat and the backdrop you use. It really adds to an already engrossing game.

    Yes, the background looks great. I like the mixture of top-down and side photos.

    So, the French are gone. Looks pretty evenly matched. My money is on the Austro-Hungarians!
